Hello again Santabarbara!
Information about George Zimmer and schools or proms is scarce;
however I did uncover a few pieces of information that might be of
your interest.
George Zimmer supported the purchase of a permanent location for the
Shalom pre-school, Camp Gan Israel summer and winter camps and Chabad
House programs.
Excerpt:
?Noted San Francisco community leader and philanthropist Hal Dryan
spearheaded the project with a substantial donation and also kicked
off a fund raising campaign to retire the mortgage. ?Hal felt this
site was the perfect solution to our rapidly expanding school,
synagogue and programming activities? said Langer ?Thanks to him and
our other supporters, including George Zimmer (The Men?s Wearhouse) we
are going full steam ahead with long term projects and development
goals.?
Langer?s ambitious plans include expanding the pre-school into a
yeshiva day school. A kindergarten is already in formation for 2004.
Also on the drawing board is a state of the art women?s mikveh and
Judaic library, as well as a multipurpose auditorium that will serve
both the school and the synagogue.?

George Zimmer supported the new Science and Environmental Education
Center at the Oakland Zoo.
?The big day draws near as finishing touches are put on the new
PeopleSoft Center for Science and Environmental Education. It took
three years of fundraising, one and a half years to build, and a very
enthusiastic and valued family of supporters; but the Center is now a
reality!?
(. . .)
?George Zimmer, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Men's Wearhouse,
stepped forward to serve as Chairman of the Campaign. Under his able
leadership and with the support of other dedicated volunteers, the
campaign was a tremendous success and raised $4.1 million, well beyond
the original goal of $3.5 million. Leadership gifts that served as the
cornerstone of the campaign were received from George Zimmer and his
family, The Duffield Family Foundation, and the Wayne and Gladys
Valley Foundation.?
